Liner NotesI am thrilled to be hosting and accompanying another sing-along at the beautiful San Francisco Botanical Garden as a part of Flower Piano. Welcome to our celebration of 1967 and “The Summer of Love.”In ‘67 I was a high school sophomore. Since I have two older brothers and my mother always had Top 40 radio on in the car, I KNOW these songs. My personal tastes skew towards R&B and soul music—after all, I am from Philadelphia—and Philly was and is a hub for African American music. So I lip synced—and danced—more to The Temptations than the Beatles or the Beach Boys.1967 was a big year in pop music. Some have called it a turn-ing point. Singles, on 45 rpm records (with the big hole in the middle), dominated the airwaves. But by the end of the year, albums had taken over the market and the radio. And the fol-lowing year, 1968, had so much turmoil and violence, that 1967 was a sort of unrecognized respite from what was to come.The hardest part of organizing today’s event was choosing which songs to sing. There are simply too many great tunes from 1967 to cover in a mere two hours. (Do the math.) I start-ed with Weekly Top 40 lists. 19 different songs held the top spot in the 52 weeks of 1967, 12 for more than one week. We’re singing them all today except for two, strangely both by The Supremes. [TMI Footnote: I thought “The Happening” and “Love is Here (and Now You’re Gone)” were too odd to sing as a group, especially the latter with its “talking” sections. But Di-ana and the girls were SO big back then that I’ve included a hit from 1966 (“You Keep Me Hanging On”). For you nitpickers, it was still on the radio in ‘67 and was included in the 1967 LP “Supremes Sing Holland-Dozier-Holland.” And then there’s the ’67 Vanilla Fudge recording. But I digress.]I then pored over the details of those weekly Top 40 lists and chose records that consistently charted. So many great tunes never made it to #1 but stayed in the charts for months and months.

Some other notes:• I’ve tried to keep the selections varied in terms of style, origin, point of view, etc. There were a lot of Flower Power or Hippie or Summer of Love-y songs. Also a lot of absolute pap that may or may not ring true with the public today. Do you want to sing “The Beat Goes On” or “Something Stupid”? People are different and I won’t judge. But I will NOT sing “Green Green Grass of Home.” (I’m a little surprised one of those zombie shows hasn’t used it. I mean the guy is singing from the grave!)

• I tended to not include a song if it was a cover of a previous record. Some big songs got left out this way, e.g. “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” which was a huge hit for Johnny Rivers in 1967. But The Four Tops had released it in 1964. Sorry, Johnny.

• I do not consider one’s choice of personal pronouns to be a political statement. But I could be wrong. So use “he” for “she” and vice versa as you see fit. It will not disturb the sing-ing.

• We do not have time to sing the entire “Sgt. Pepper” album. I am sorry. Maybe some other time. I’ve got three Beatles songs on our list. They will have to suffice.

• Certain artists are truly unique and sound like nobody else. And a guitar-heavy song sounds ridiculous on a piano. So no “Purple Haze.” Sorry, Jimi. Similarly I don’t want to hear any-one other than James Brown sing “Cold Sweat.”

• Generally we’re going to sing all the songs in their original keys. So if you sang along with the radio in ‘67, sing out today!

I know some of you will be disappointed that your favorite song is not included. In the back of this lyric booklet you’ll find a list of 80 songs that didn’t make the cut. And I’m sure there are many more I missed. More than enough for another sing- along or two.

I’M A BELIEVERWords and Music by Neil Diamond © 1966

1. I thought love was only true in fairy talesMeant for someone else but not for meLove was out to get meThat’s the way it seemedDisappointment haunted all of my dreams

BR: Then I saw her face, now I’m a believerNot a trace of doubt in my mindI’m in loveI’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her if I tried

2. I thought love was more or less a giving thingSeems the more I gave, the less I gotWhat’s the use in tryin’?All you get is painWhen I needed sunshine, I got rain


(Short instrumental)

Oh, love was out to get meNow that’s the way it seemedDisappointment haunted all of my dreams


Yes I saw her face, now I’m a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mindYeah I’m a believer, yeah yeah yeah yeahI’m a believer……. (repeat and fade out)

2. Kind of a dragWhen your baby says goodbyeKind of a drag When you feel like you want to cry

Oh oh oh, girl (Listen to me when I’m speakin’ ‘cause you know the words I’m thinkin’)Even though you made me feel blue (And I know that you’ve been cheatin’, oh I hope that we’ll be meetin’)I still love you (Ooo, I still love you)I’ll always love you (Ooo, I’ll always love you)Anyway, anyway, anyway

RUBY TUESDAYWords and Music by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger © 1966

1. She would never say where she came fromYesterday don’t matter if it’s goneWhile the sun is brightOr in the darkest nightNo one knows, she comes and goes

Goodbye Ruby TuesdayWho could hang a name on you?When you change with every new dayStill I’m gonna miss you

2. Don’t question why she needs to be so freeShe’ll tell you it’s the only way to beShe just can’t be chainedTo a life where nothings gainedAnd nothings lost, at such a cost


3. “There’s no time to lose,” I heard her sayCatch your dreams before they slip awayDying all the timeLose your dreams and you will lose your mindAin’t life unkind?

PENNY LANEWords and Music by John Lennon & Paul McCartney © 1967 1. Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographsOf every head he’s had the pleasure to have knownAnd all the people that come and goStop and say hello

2. On the corner is a banker with a motorcarThe little children laugh at him behind his backAnd the banker never wears a macIn the pouring rain, very strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes There beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile back

3. In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglassAnd in his pocket is a portrait of the QueenHe likes to keep his fire engine cleanIt’s a clean machine (High trumpet solo)

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesA four of fish and finger piesIn summer meanwhile back

4. Behind the shelter in the middle of a roundaboutA pretty nurse is selling poppies from a trayAnd though she feels as if she’s in a playShe is anyway 5. Penny Lane the barber shaves another customerWe see the banker sitting waiting for a trimThen the fireman rushes inFrom the pouring rainVery strange

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesThere beneath the blue suburban skies I sit, and meanwhile backPenny Lane is in my ears and in my eyesThere beneath the blue suburban skiesPenny Lane

SOMETHING STUPIDWords and Music by Carson Parks © 1966 I know I stand in line, until you think you have the timeTo spend an evening with meAnd if we go someplace to dance, I know that there’s a chanceYou won’t be leaving with meAnd afterwards we drop into a quiet little placeAnd have a drink or twoAnd then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupidLike “I love you”

I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old liesYou heard the night beforeAnd though it’s just a line to you, for me it’s trueIt never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever lines to sayTo make the meaning come throughBut then I think I’ll wait until the evening gets lateAnd I’m alone with youThe time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get redAnd oh the night’s so blueAnd then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupidLike “I love you”

(Short instrumental) The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get redAnd oh the night’s so blueAnd then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupidLike “I love you”“I love you, I love you” (repeat and fade) GROOVIN’Words and Music by Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati © 1967 1. Groovin’ . . . on a Sunday afternoonReally . . . couldn’t get away too soonI can’t imagine anything that’s betterThe world is ours whenever we’re togetherThere ain’t a place I’d like to be instead of . . .

9

2. Groovin’ . . . down a crowded avenueDoin’ . . . anything we like to doThere’s always lots of things that we can seeWe can be anyone we like to beAnd all those happy people we could meet just . . .

3. Groovin’ . . . on a Sunday afternoonReally . . . couldn’t get away too soonAh-ha-ha [3 times]We’ll keep on spending sunny days this wayWe’re gonna talk and laugh our time awayI feel it comin’ closer day by dayLife will be ecstasy, you and me endlessly . . .

4. Groovin’ . . . on a Sunday afternoonReally couldn’t get away too soon, No no no no noGroovin’ . . . (uh-huh) Repeat and fade

WINDYWords and Music by Ruthann Friedman © 1967

Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairwayCalling a name that’s lighter than airWho’s bending down to give me a rainbowEveryone knows it’s Windy

Who’s tripping down the streets of the citySmilin’ at everybody she seesWho’s reachin’ out to capture a momentEveryone knows it’s Windy

And Windy has stormy eyesThat flash at the sound of liesAnd Windy has wings to flyAbove the clouds (above the clouds)Above the clouds (above the clouds)

(Short instrumental) Whistle the melody, if you can

And Windy has stormy eyesThat flash at the sound of lies

11

And Windy has wings to flyAbove the clouds (above the clouds)Above the clouds (above the clouds)

Who’s tripping down the streets of the city repeat 3x’sSmilin’ at everybody she sees repeat 3x’sWho’s reachin’ out to capture a moment repeat 3x’s Everyone knows it’s Windy repeat 3x’s

LIGHT MY FIREWords and Music by John Densmore, Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger & Ray Manzarek © 1966

You know that it would be untrueYou know that I would be a liarIf I was to say to youGirl, we couldn’t get much higherCome on baby, light my fireCome on baby, light my fireTry to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is throughNo time to wallow in the mireTry now we can only loseAnd our love become a funeral pyreCome on baby, light my fireCome on baby, light my fireTry to set the night on fire, yeah

(World’s longest organ solo, followed an equally long guitar solo)

ODE TO BILLY JOEWords and Music by Bobbie Gentry © 1967

1. It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta dayI was out choppin’ cotton and my brother was bailin’ hayAnd at dinner time we stopped and we walked back to the house to eatAnd mama hollered at the back door “y’all remember to wipe your feet”And then she said she got some news this mornin’ from Choctaw RidgeToday Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

2. Papa said to mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas“Well, Billie Joe never had a lick of sense. Pass the biscuits, please”“There’s five more acres in the lower forty I’ve got to plow”Mama said it was shame about Billie Joe, anyhowSeems like nothin’ ever comes to no good up on Choctaw RidgeAnd now Billie Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge

3. And brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie JoePut a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture showAnd wasn’t I talkin’ to him after church last Sunday night?“I’ll have another piece of apple pie, you know it just don’t seem right”“I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge”“And now you tell me Billie Joe’s jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge”

4. Mama said to me “Child, what’s happened to your appetite?”“I’ve been cookin’ all morning and you haven’t touched a single bite”“That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today”

13

“Said he’d be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way”“He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge”“And she and Billie Joe was throwing somethin’ off the Tallahatchie Bridge”

5. A year has come and gone since we heard the news ‘bout Billie JoeBrother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in TupeloThere was a virus going ‘round, papa caught it and he died last SpringAnd now mama doesn’t seem to want to do much of anythingAnd me, I spend a lot of time pickin’ flowers up on Choctaw RidgeAnd drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

THE LETTERWords and Music by Wayne Carson © 1967

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane Ain’t got time to take a fast train Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

I don’t care how much money I gotta spend Got to get back to my baby again Lonely days are gone, I’m a-goin’ home My baby, just-a wrote me a letter

BR: Well, she wrote me a letter Said she couldn’t live without me no more Listen mister, can’t you see I got to get back To my baby once-a more Anyway, yeah!

TO SIR WITH LOVEWords and Music by Don Black © 1966

1. Those schoolgirl days of telling tales and biting nails are goneBut in my mind I know they will still live on and onBut how do you thank someone who has taken you from crayons to perfume?It isn’t easy, but I’ll try

If you wanted the sky I would write across the sky in lettersThat would soar a thousand feet high ‘To Sir, With Love’

2. The time has come for closing books and long last looks must endAnd as I leave I know that I am leaving my best friendA friend who taught me right from wrong and weak from strongThat’s a lot to learn, but what can I give you in return?

If you wanted the moon I would try to make a starBut I would rather you let me give my heart ‘To Sir, With Love’

INCENSE AND PEPPERMINTSWords and Music by John S. Carter and Tim Gilbert © 1967

Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ mankindDead kings, many things I can’t defineOccasions, persuasions clutter your mindIncense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose?Little to win, but nothin’ to lose

Incense and peppermints, meaningless nounsTurn on, tune in, turn your eyes around.

Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeahLook at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!

To divide this cockeyed world in twoThrow your pride to one side, it’s the least you can doBeatniks and politics, nothing is newA yardstick for lunatics, one point of view


Good sense, innocence, cripplin’ mankindDead kings, many things I can’t defineOccasion, persuasions clutter your mindIncense and peppermints, the color of time


Incense and peppermintsIncense and peppermints

DAYDREAM BELIEVERWords and Music by John Stewart © 1967

1. Oh, I could hide ‘neath the wingsOf the bluebird as she singsThe six-o’clock alarm would never ring

But six rings and I riseWipe the sleep out of my eyesThe shaving razor’s cold and it stings

BR: Cheer up, sleepy JeanOh, what can it mean to aDaydream believer and aHomecoming queen?

2. You once thought of meAs a white knight on his steedNow you know how happy I can be

Oh, our good time starts and endsWithout all I want to spendBut how much, baby, do we really need?

BR: Cheer up, sleepy JeanOh, what can it mean to aDaydream believer and aHomecoming queen?

Cheer up, sleepy JeanOh, what can it mean to aDaydream believer and aHomecoming queen?

FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH (Stop, Hey, What’s That Sound?)Words and Music by Stephen Stills © 1966

1. There’s something happening hereWhat it is ain’t exactly clearThere’s a man with a gun over thereTelling me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound?Everybody look what’s going down

2. There’s battle lines being drawnNobody’s right if everybody’s wrongYoung people speaking their mindsGetting so much resistance from behind

It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?Everybody look what’s going down

3. What a field-day for the heatA thousand people in the streetSinging songs and carrying signsMostly say, hooray for our side

It’s s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?Everybody look what’s going down

4. Paranoia strikes deepInto your life it will creepIt starts when you’re always afraidStep out of line, the Man come and take you away

We better stop, hey, what’s that sound?Everybody look what’s going downWe better stop, hey, what’s that sound?Everybody look what’s going down(repeat and fade)

I SECOND THAT EMOTIONWords and Music by Smokey Robinson and Al Cleveland © 1967

1. Maybe you’ll wanna give me kisses sweetBut only for one night with no repeatAnd maybe you’ll go away and never callAnd a taste of honey is worse that none at all.

Oh little girl, in that case I don’t want no partI do believe that that would only break my heartOh, but if you feel like lovin’ meIf you got the notion, I second that emotionSo, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotionI second that emotion

2. Maybe you’ll think that love would tie you downAnd you don’t have the time to hang aroundOr maybe you’ll think that love will make us foolsAnd so it makes you wise to break the rules

Oh little girl, in that case I don’t want no partI do believe that that would only break my heartOh, but if you feel like lovin’ meIf you got the notion, I second that emotionYeah, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotionI second that emotion


Oh little girl, in that case I don’t want no partI do believe that that would only break my heartOh, but if you feel like lovin’ meIf you got the notion, I second that emotion.So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotionI second that emotionI second that emotion (repeat and fade)

SAN FRANCISCO (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)Words and Music by John Phillips © 1967

If you’re going to San FranciscoBe sure to wear some flowers in your hairIf you’re going to San FranciscoYou’re gonna meet some gentle people there

BROWN EYED GIRLWords and Music by Van Morrison © 1967

1. Hey, where did we go, Days when the rains came?Down in the hollow, Playing a new gameLaughing and a-running, hey, hey; Skipping and a-jumpingIn the misty morning fog with, Our, our hearts a-thumpingAnd you, my brown-eyed girlYou, my brown-eyed girl

2. Whatever happened, To Tuesday and so slowGoing down to the old mine with a, Transistor radioStanding in the sunlight laughing, Hide behind a rainbow’s wall

22

Slipping and a-sliding, All along the waterfallWith you, my brown-eyed girlYou, my brown-eyed girlDo you remember when we used to sing:

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah (Just like that)Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dahLa dee dah

3. So hard to find my way, Now that I’m all on my ownI saw you just the other day; My, how you have grown!Cast my memory back there, Lord; Sometime I’m overcome thinking about itLaughin’ and a-runnin’ hey, hey, Behind the stadiumWith you, my brown eyed girlYou, my brown eyed girlDo you remember when we used to sing:

Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah (repeat and fade)

ALFIEWords by Hal David, Music by Burt Bacharach © 1966

What’s it all about, Alfie?Is it just for the moment we live?What’s it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?Are we meant to take more than we giveOr are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, AlfieThen I guess it is wise to be cruelAnd if life belongs only to the strong, AlfieWhat will you lend on an old golden rule?

As sure as I believe there’s a heaven above, AlfieI know there’s something much more,Something even non-believers can believe in

I believe in love, AlfieWithout true love we just exist, AlfieUntil you find the love you’ve missed you’re nothing, Alfie

23

When you walk let your heart lead the wayAnd you’ll find love any day, AlfieAlfie

DIFFERENT DRUMWords and Music by Michael Nesmith © 1965

You and I travel to the beat of a diff’rent drumOh, can’t you tell by the way I runEv’ry time you make eyes at me. Wo-oh

You cry and you moan and say it will work outBut honey child, I’ve got my doubtsYou can’t see the forest for the trees

Oh, don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m knockin’It’s just that I am not in the marketFor a boy/girl who wants to love only me

Yes, and I ain’t sayin’ you ain’t prettyI’m sayin’ I’m not ready for any person, place or thingTo try and pull the reins in on me

So goodbye, I’ll be leavin’I see no sense in this cryin’ and grievin’.We’ll both live a lot longer if you live without me.

WHITE RABBITWords and Music by Grace Slick © 1966

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you smallAnd the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at allGo ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you’re going to fallTell ‘em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the callAnd call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to goAnd you’ve just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving lowGo ask Alice. I think she’ll know.

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy deadAnd the White Knight is talking backwardsAnd the Red Queen’s “off with her head”Remember what the dormouse saidFeed your head. Feed your head.

I DIG ROCK AND ROLL MUSICWords and Music by Paul Stookey, James Mason & Dave Dixon © 1966

1. I dig rock and roll musicAnd I love to get the chance to play (and sing it)I figure it’s about the happiest sound goin’ down today

The message may not move meOr mean a great deal to meBut hey! It feels so groovy to say

2. I dig the Mamas and the Papas at “the trip” Sunset strip in L.A.And they got a good thing goin’When the words don’t get in the way

And when they’re really wailin’Michelle and Cass are sailin’Hey! They really nail me to the wall

27

3. Donovan kind of in a dream-like, tripped out wayHis crystal images tell you ‘bout a brighter day

And when the Beatles tell youThey’ve got a word “love” to sell youThey mean exactly what they say 4. I dig rock and roll musicI could really get it on that sceneI think I could say somethin’--if you know what I mean But if I really say it The radio won’t play it Unless I lay it between the lines Pa pa pa pa pa pa (repeat and fade)

I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOWWords and Music by Richard Rosenblatt (aka Ritchie Cordell) © 1967

1. Children behave, That’s what they say when we’re togetherAnd watch how you play, They don’t understand and so we’reRunning just as fast as we can,Holding onto one another’s handTrying to get away into the nightAnd then you put your arms around me and we tumble to the groundAnd then you say:

(BRIDGE) I think we’re alone nowThere doesn’t seem to be anyone aroundI think we’re alone nowThe beating of our hearts is the only sound

BOTH SIDES NOWWords and Music by Joni Mitchell © 1967

1. Rows and flows of angel hair, And ice cream castles in the airAnd feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at clouds that wayBut now they only block the sun, They rain and snow on everyoneSo many things I would have done, But clouds got in my way

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides nowFrom up and down and still somehowIt’s cloud’s illusions I recallI really don’t know clouds at all

2. Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, The dizzy dancing way you feelWhen every fairy tale comes real, I’ve looked at love that wayBut now it’s just another show, You leave ‘em laughin’ when you goAnd if you care, don’t let them know, Don’t give yourself away

I’ve looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehowIt’s love’s illusions I recallI really don’t know love at all

3. Tears and fears and feeling proud, To say “I love you” right out loudDreams and schemes and circus crowds, I’ve looked at life that wayBut now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I’ve changedWell something’s lost, but something’s gained, in living every day. I’ve looked at life from both sides now From give and take and still somehow

It’s life’s illusions I recallI really don’t know life at all

A WHITER SHADE OF PALEWords and Music by Gary Brooker, Keith Reid and Matthew Fisher © 1967

(Famous instrumental intro)

1. We skipped the light fandangoTurned cartwheels ‘cross the floorI was feeling kinda seasickBut the crowd called out for moreThe room was humming harderAs the ceiling flew awayWhen we called out for another drinkThe waiter brought a tray

And so it was that laterAs the miller told his taleThat her face, at first just ghostly,Turned a whiter shade of pale


2. She said, ‘There is no reasonAnd the truth is plain to see.’But I wandered through my playing cardsWould not let her beOne of sixteen vestal virginsWho were leaving for the coastAnd although my eyes were openThey might just as well’ve been closed

And so it was that laterAs the miller told his taleThat her face, at first just ghostly,Turned a whiter shade of pale

Hey there, Georgy girlSwinging down the street so fancy-freeNobody you meet could ever see the loneliness there, inside you

Hey there, Georgy girlWhy do all the boys just pass you by?Could it be you just don’t try or is it the clothes you wear?

You’re always window shopping but never stopping to buySo shed those dowdy feathers and fly, a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girlDreamin’ of the someone you could beLife is a reality, you can’t always run away

Don’t be so scared of changing and rearranging yourselfIt’s time for jumping down from the shelf, a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girlThere’s another Georgy deep insideBring out all the love you hide and, oh, what a change there’d beThe world would see a new Georgy girl (Hey there, Georgy girl)Wake up, Georgy girl (Hey there, Georgy girl)Come on, Georgy girl (Hey there, Georgy girl)Wake up, Georgy girl (Hey there, Georgy girl)Come on, Georgy girl (fades out)

Well, that’s as may beBut you gotta stand trial, because all the whileI can see for miles and milesI can see for miles and milesI can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and milesOh yeah

(we’ll leave out the long guitar solo)

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear daysYou thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the hazeWell, here’s a poke at youYou’re gonna choke on it tooYou’re gonna lose that smileBecause all the while

I can see for miles and miles. I can see for miles and milesI can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and milesAnd miles and miles and miles and milesI can see for miles and miles (x4) and the inevitable fade out

UP, UP AND AWAYWords and Music by Jimmy Webb © 1967

1. Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?We could float among the stars together, you and IFor we can fly, we can fly

Up, up and awayIn my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

2. The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloonIt wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloonWe can sing a song and sail along the silver skyFor we can fly, we can fly

48

Up, up and awayIn my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Suspended under a twilight canopyWe’ll search the clouds for a star to guide usIf by some chance you find yourself loving meWe’ll find a cloud to hide us, keep the moon beside us

3. Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloonWay up in the air in my beautiful balloonIf you’ll hold my hand we’ll chase your dream across the skyFor we can fly, we can fly

Up, up and awayIn my beautiful, my beautiful balloonBalloon (Up, up and away)Balloon (Up, up and away)Balloon

GOOD VIBRATIONSWords by Mike Love, Music by Brian Wilson © 1966

1. I love the colorful clothes she wearsAnd the way the sunlight plays upon her hairI hear the sound of a gentle wordOn the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I’m pickin’ up good vibrationsShe’s givin’ me excitationsI’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Oo, bop bop, good vibrations)She’s givin’ me excitations (Bop bop, excitations)I’m picking up good vibrations (Good, good, good, good vibrations)She’s giving me excitationsI’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Good, good, good, good vibrations)She’s givin’ me excitations2. Close my eyes, she is somehow closer nowSoftly smile, I know she must be kindWhen I look in her eyesShe goes with me to a blossom world

49

I’m pickin’ up good vibrationsShe’s givin’ me excitationsI’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Oo, bop bop, good vibrations)She’s givin’ me excitations (Bop bop, excitations)I’m picking up good vibrations (Good, good, good, good vibrations)She’s giving me excitationsI’m pickin’ up good vibrations (Good, good, good, good vibrations)She’s givin’ me excitations

Gotta keep those lovin’ good vibrations are happ’nin’ with her

SOMEBODY TO LOVEWords and Music by Darby Slick © 1966

1. When the truth is found to be liesAnd all the joy within you dies

Don’t you want somebody to love?Don’t you need somebody to love?Wouldn’t you love somebody to love?You better find somebody to love.

2. When the garden flowers, baby are dead, yes andYour mind, your mind is so full of red

Don’t you want somebody to loveDon’t you need somebody to loveWouldn’t you love somebody to loveYou better find somebody to love.

3. Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like hisYeah, but in your head, baby, I’m afraid you don’t know where it is

Don’t you want somebody to love?Don’t you need somebody to love?Wouldn’t you love somebody to love?You better find somebody to love.

50

4. Tears are running, they’re all runnin’ down your breastAnd your friends, baby; they treat you like a guest

Don’t you want somebody to love?Don’t you need somebody to love?Wouldn’t you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love.

NEVER MY LOVEWords and Music by Donald and Richard Addrisi © 1967

You ask me if there’ll come a timeWhen I grow tired of youNever my loveNever my love

You wonder if this heart of mineWill lose its desire for youNever my loveNever my love

What makes you think love will endWhen you know that my whole life dependsOn you (on you)

Duh duh duh duh, duh duh duh duh etc. (melody)Never my loveNever my love

You say you fear I’ll change my mindAnd I won’t require youNever my loveNever my love

How can you think love will end When I’ve asked you to spend your whole life With me (with me)(Short instrumental)Never my loveNever my love

THE BEAT GOES ONWords and Music by Sonny Bono © 1966

The beat goes on, the beat goes onDrums keep pounding a rhythm to the brainLa de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huhHistory has turned the page, uh huhThe mini skirts, the current thing, uh huhTeenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

And the beat goes on, the beat goes onDrums keep pounding a rhythm to the brainLa de da de de, la de da de da

The grocery store’s the super mart, uh huhLittle girls still break their hearts, uh huhAnd men still keep on marching off to warElectrically they keep a baseball score


Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisceBoys keep chasing girls to get a kissThe cars keep a-going faster all the timeBums still cry, “Hey buddy, have you got a dime?”


And the beat goes on (yes, the beat goes on)And the beat goes on (and the beat goes on, on, on, on……)The beat goes on and the beat goes on (fades out)

About San Francisco Botanical GardenSan Francisco Botanical Garden offers 55 acres of beautiful gardens displaying over 8,500 different kinds of plants from around the world, some no longer found in their native habitats. With San Francisco’s famous fog and mild, mediterranean climate, the Garden enjoys a range of climatic conditions that exists in few other botanical gardens in the world, allowing it to grow and conserve a highly diverse and critically important botanical collection. The Garden serves as an outdoor classroom, connecting people to plants in the heart of the city. Its thriving youth education program serves more than 13,000 children annually, reaching almost every public elementary school in San Francisco. Free, daily docent-led tours are available year-round.

We hope you will return to the Garden again and again to experience one of the country’s most significant botanical collections right here in Golden Gate Park. For more info, visit SFBotanicalGarden.org.
